Love and Fantasy

Dieter Reith - Love And Fantasy (1978)Intercord 160116

A wonderfully slinky set of grooves from ubermensch Reith with tracks originally recorded for the German thriller series 'Die Kette', in his own modest words "the waste-product of the soundtrack". I don't hear much waste product here, lots to be had in fact but the dreamy down-tempo funk of ''Uschi' complete with those slick ethereal backing vocals does it for me every time - then of course that 'Beams' track!

Dieter is the name of one of my favorite characters of all times in anime... I know it has nothing to do with music and this band -except for the name- but I could not avoid thinking: with that name, I will surely love them. Besides, your review helped a lot to increase my high hopes on them.
